If you think that both bugs are related, you should do an "all in one" |
| 12 |
bug report. Add some more information like your boot line command, |
| 13 |
.config content and your 'emmerge --info'. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If you have time enough, you can try to find by yourself what you did to |
| 16 |
get this bug. Is the problem related to a kernel upgrade for example ? |

I'd get the rid of the splash option at the boot line command but it's |
| 21 |
probably not what you're expecting for. Don't know what a "normal" boot |
| 22 |
is. |

Well, playing with these options won't help. By "this can be related to |
| 35 |
the kernel" I think about an internal bug from the kernel. |
